<< what are your thoughts about their projected 5-year growth
rate of 30% for DPMI, CYMI, PLAB, etc..? Doable?? >>

TSO, I was not able to access the NYT article. I don't think it would tell me anything new. What source did the article reference for that 30% number?

from Q4 Cymer C.C. on industry growth:

In the longer term, despite the near-term issues, deep-UV is ranked as one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global lithography marketplace. According to the independent market analysis firms, the deep-UV lithography market is currently projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 28 percent, at least to the year 2000.

The DPMI CEO on the C.C. gave a 15% number. So it's safe to say we should get double digit growth.
When it come to long range forecasts of a complex industry the expected vs actual observed outcome are often different.
I take these macro big picture numbers with a grain of salt.

The players you mentioned will benefit, to what extent only time will tell.

Regards,

DKG
